CABLE CONTROVERSY
PROPOSED POOL CONTEMNED. , SYDNEY, February 26. The ‘’Daily Telegraph. ’ in condemning too proposed cable pool, says the cable rates would be kept high. Cable users would have to pay a high tariff for the benefit of the Eastern Extension Company’s linos as well as to maintain tha Pacific line on a basis of purely artificial profitableness. It would bo far cheaper and more honest to, let the Pacific run on its merits, the Governments concerned footing whatever bills accrued if the linodid not pay. The public was always willing to pay in a proper way for such works of national necessity as the Pacific cable. The wonder was that the Pacific Cable Board, which represents the Governments concerned, should have started the pooling project.
